Chapter 452: Chapter 322: Goal Achieved (Seeking Monthly Pass)_3
...
This unrest, which lasted less than a day, was enough to cause a sensation throughout the city.
This forced the government to deploy manpower to maintain order.
Of course, Pei Zhan and Liang Chen, as the main forces in solving the case, were undoubtedly swamped with work at this moment. Naturally, Fu Zhen could not delay his time.
After sending off Fu Zhen in the early morning, Mrs. Ning did not close her eyes again. To avoid causing trouble for Fu Zhen and the others, she did not step out of the front gate or even the second door all day. It wasn’t until she heard that Xu Yin was surrounded in a house next to Baiyu Lane, where he had once lived, that she felt relieved. According to her prior agreement with Fu Zhen, she went from the Ning Family to the Wanbin Building.
Due to the curfew across the city, the restaurant was closed today as well. Mrs. Ning paced back and forth in the attic, watching the daylight slanting westward, casting shadows through the gaps in the branches into the room, when Fu Zhen’s footsteps finally echoed up from below!
Ignoring her composure, Mrs. Ning hurried down the stairs, paused for a moment, then stepped forward to grab Fu Zhen’s arms and said, "Nothing happened to you, did it?"
Fu Zhen let out a long breath, shook his head, and embraced her: "I’m fine. Everyone has been captured, and the dust has settled!"
"That’s great!" Mrs. Ning choked up, releasing her and saying, "Your Uncle Xie—Mr. Xie, he sent someone with a message just now, briefly mentioning the situation in the palace, and said you personally led people to chase Xu Yin. After receiving the letter, I couldn’t rest easy. That treacherous Xu is extremely cunning. I was so afraid something might go wrong with you."
Fu Zhen helped her upstairs to sit down, took a couple of breaths to steady her breathing, and then said, "From now on, you can rest assured. The mystery of Baiyu Lane has been unveiled. The Crown Prince, Xu Yin, Prince Rong and his son—all these people have been brought to justice. We can live peacefully now."
Revenge was not her entire life, but it was a goal she had to achieve after her rebirth.
In the past six months, she dedicated all her energy to her revenge, and from the moment she took down Xu Yin, her life was back on track.
With her great vengeance achieved, this segment of the past truly became the past.
From now on, whether she was Liang Ning or Fu Zhen did not matter. What mattered was the anticipation for decades of the rest of her life that she had in her past life, which she could now pursue again from this moment.
Mrs. Ning gently stroked her slightly disheveled hair: "Master Cheng Kong’s words were indeed prophetic. From the moment you escaped death from Baihe Temple, everything began to turn for the better. Henceforth, it will naturally get better and better."
The mother and daughter nestled against each other in the gentle sunset, bringing a sense of tranquility to the entire room.
When the sound of Jin Zhu’s footsteps came from downstairs, Fu Zhen also sat upright. She accepted the tea from Jin Zhu and took a couple of sips, then said, "There’s an important matter I haven’t had time to tell you, Mother. Do you know whom Prince Rong and his son killed?"
The matter of the Crown Prince murdering his brother, touching on familial relations, required temporary secrecy in the palace, and it would only be announced later. Thus, Mrs. Ning would currently be unaware of this inside story.
Sure enough, Mrs. Ning was stunned: "Could it be the eldest prince?"
"It was the eldest prince, which makes perfect sense, doesn’t it?" Earlier, when mentioning that fan, there had been vague speculations in both their hearts. Even if they didn’t know it was the eldest prince, they suspected it was someone extremely important.
After narrating the history of the eldest prince, Fu Zhen continued, "I never expected that Grandfather would be the key person with knowledge of the eldest prince’s whereabouts. So it made complete sense for him to instruct Mother to act cautiously.
"I asked Xu Yin if he knew the cause of Grandfather’s death, but I found that he learned information about the eldest prince through that Lian Rong by his side. So, regarding Grandfather’s death, he may not be aware, and even if he knows, it would have been something he heard from Lian Rong.
"At that time, I thought that since the case of the eldest prince had nothing to do with Dayue’s struggle for imperial power, Lian Rong’s faction had no reason to pay attention to these things. How did he come to know then? At that time, he had just come to Xu Yin’s side not long ago, so he probably hadn’t yet taken over Xu Yin’s guards. Yet somehow, he seemed to handle these messages effortlessly."
If Lian Rong hadn’t just happened to provide such crucial information, Xu Yin wouldn’t have immediately decided to use this case as a pretext to ask Liang Ning for the dagger, and thus align with Prince Rong’s Mansion.
